I want to loose weight do I go buy what it says my calories should be a day or the total amount of calories plus exercise calories?? Or do I ignore exercise calories and just keep it at my original amount ??

You eat your calorie goal plus 50-75% of your exercise calories.3

And then you monitor your weight loss over the next 4 to 6 weeks. If you're losing more slowly than intended, eat back less exercise calories. If you're losing weight faster than intended, eat back more exercise calories.4 -

Just to confirm - you did select that losing weight was your goal, and you do recall picking an amount per week?

You eat to your calorie goal and all of your actual exercise calories.
Your base calorie goal is only for a day you do no exercise.
If you believe your exercise estimates are accurate or in reality, reasonable, then don't take off a random percentage. There are many ways to estimate exercise calories, some good, some ok, some hopeless.
For most people the accuracy of your food intake is a far more significant factor than exercise.
